How to Exit Q model. (No toolbar or anything but the picture) in Photoshop on macOS

[Elisefreya]

Hi:

    I'm not sure which mode I'm in. Whiling I'm editing this Picture, (I may press Q or COM+Q) I get into this mode. No tool bar but look at the pictures. When I quit and open the image again, it's still in this Mode. Any help? 😞

Hi there,

Could you please try switching or resetting the workspace and see if it helps? https://helpx.adobe.com/in/photoshop/using/workspace-basics.html#save_and_switch_workspaces

If that does not help, then try resetting the preferences of Photoshop.

Note: Make sure that you back up all your custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. Migrate presets, actions, and settings

Regards,

Hi:

    Thanks for your help!! I did not try the Workshop but resetting. It works well. Just do not want to reset every single time. 

    Best!!

    Have a nice day!!

Press the tab key to get the tool bar back. press the q key to take it back out of quickmask mode.

Hi, 

       I did not try Tab Key but the Q key.  It will just switch from quick mask mode to normal mode.  Just try Tab Key. it works!!
